Terrible movie. The over extended and over done dramatic scenes actually cause you to stop caring about the characters well being. Spend three hours reading a book, you will be much happier.

The average American's reading level is 8th grade, so I can see why many enjoyed this. Goes right along with the Twilight phenomenom. Terrible movie. I'm a worse person having watched it.

In the opinion of many, the movie's plot is repetive in the action scenes and death, but that is part of it's thrill. It's the END OF THE WORLD being portrayed! The actual causes are factually based and some of todays leading predictions for an apocolypse. (Stating the movie's plot would be rude, but those who have seen it may research this information on their own will.) Of course there would be large scale death throughout the globe, which is demonstrated repeatedly. Also, the deaths' of characters of focus in the movie bring into sight the morbid nature of such happenings. You plead for the demolition of the world to end and the people to survive, but it comes down to the truth that many just won't make it. As to the comments that "this family never could've lived", many didn't. View the plot from this perspective: among the billions that died, a few lived, and the focus is put on this family's story because they happened to be one of the few lucky ones. Think backwards, pretend that because the family survived the movie followed their struggle; not that the movie followed them and by chance they lived. Again though, remember it's all science fiction. From a personal opinion, 2012 was one of the most interesting movie's I've seen in the past few years. I love the environmental sciences and was pleased to see evidence and realistic situations incorporated. In no apect is the tradgedy of such an event like the apocolypse downplayed, and the characters' acting made everything believable. The effort and hardwork the actors put in is marvelous and in the least should not be downtroddened. I give 2012 a definete recommendation to everyone, further asking that viewers watch with a more realistic attitude to events as they unfold.
